Indeed.

Dudeofrude, you ever had to slam yer brakes on on the motorway. Don't fancy coming to a hault in my car (or on my bike for that matter) and finding some dude on a sportsbike slamming into the back of me at full speed cos he was, umm unbeliveably, rumagaging in his backpack.
But agree they followed him for 16 minutes? And does locking him up really help him, or anybody else for that matter? Ideally confiscate the bike, fine him 5 grand and ban him for 2 years with resitting test required. That should make most idiots think.
I'd rather it be an idiot on a sportsbike that hits the back of me because he's wheelieing than a retard in a 2 tonne car because they are on their phone. As I said he more than deserves a ban and that bit with the rucksack was a special kind of stupid but I just think the jail time is unnecessary and an unfair biased punishment towards him because he's a biker.
Somebody not paying attention in a car is much more dangerous than someone on a bike yet they would have just received points and a fine if they were even caught.
On that subject I was on my way home from work earlier and at the lights a young woman pulled up behind me and as soon as she stopped had her head down in her phone. I kept an eye on her as we pulled away and she didn't even look up at the road for at least 500 yards!!! And even then it was a quick hlance then back down at the phone. That to me is far more idiot and dangerous than a wheelie any day and is also the reason I filter to the front of every single queue I can to avoid getting hit up the are by a moron like that
